In Gaza, only around 300 Christians remain. Despite war, bombardment, and decades of Hamas rule, today the community gathered at Saint Porphyrius Church to celebrate several of their high school students graduating with honors and outstanding academic achievement. Even in the darkest circumstances, they continue to choose education, faith, and life. As one of the world’s oldest Christian communities slowly disappears, the Middle East loses an irreplaceable part of its history.

From Saint Elias Church, our people stood in defiance. Voices raised in unison, chanting as the blood of the victims still stained the floor: Christ is risen! Their faith did not waver. Even in the face of terror, they proclaimed life over death, and hope over fear.

Jdeidet Artouz is a mixed Muslim-Christian town near Damascus. Residents say women and girls were harassed by newcomers from Deir ez-Zor aligned with Ahmad al-Sharaa’s authority. After locals confronted them, armed men returned—smashing property and firing in residential streets. Al-Sharaa promised order. His loyalists are delivering fear.

At a graduation ceremony for new Syrian army officers at the Damascus Citadel, officers chant: “We’re coming for you, Jew, we’re coming. We’re coming like a mountain of fire. We’ll turn your body into ammunition and make rivers of your blood.” This is happening as Ahmed al-Sharaa is welcomed on red carpets in Western capitals. The question is not what Syria’s new rulers tell Western diplomats. The question is what they are teaching the men they are putting in uniform and giving weapons to.

We are not asking the Greek government for money or visas. We are asking for something far more meaningful: to use its diplomatic voice to call for an urgent U.N. meeting on the situation of Syrian Christians after the Saint Elias Church massacre. While your brethren mourn their loved ones today, let their cries be heard in the halls of international power.

A jihadi from Gaza, originally from Khan Younes and now Sharaa’s second-in-command, stood with his unit—calling themselves the Syrian Army—at the Umayyad Mosque and declared: “We didn’t come here to stop. Be patient, Gaza—we’re coming to Jerusalem.” These are the people Netanyahu wanted to make peace with.

Ma’aloula, the only place in the world where the language of #Christ is still spoken, has been cut off from the outside world for two days. The same jihadist group that previously kidnapped 13 nuns from the Monastery of St. Thecla in Maaloula—Jabhat al-Nusra—has returned to the town, declaring a “victory” over its Christian community and its ancient monastery. For the past two days, Maaloula has been completely cut off, with no internet or communication. The town is besieged by these Islamist forces, and there is a growing fear that a massacre may already be unfolding. Immediate action is needed to prevent a tragedy. Media outlets and Western and Arab diplomats must direct their attention to Maaloula. The embassies of Italy, Jordan, Saudi Arabia, the UAE, and Qatar are urged to act swiftly to ensure access to the town and protect its people and heritage. Silence and inaction now could lead to an irreversible catastrophe.

Elementary school children marched at the Damascus Book Fair chanting “Allahu Akbar” and “Gaza is our motto” — slogans widely associated with Hamas. This raises serious concerns that a new generation is being shaped around militant narratives with potentially far-reaching consequences.

Today, from Damascus, in Greek. After 1,500 years since the Arab conquest, we still pray in our language, in the heart of our Patriarchate. Today is especially important for the Church of Antioch, because Saints Peter and Paul are the founders of the Antiochian Church. On their feast day, listen to the Greek hymn rising from Damascus, chanted in the presence of His Beatitude John X, Patriarch of Antioch, and also in Arabic. This is not only a hymn. It is memory, continuity, and survival.
